Even if Deshaun Watson has a big bounceback season in 2026, a top NFL insider claims there is no chance the Cleveland Browns will try to re-sign him.

Frustratingly for Browns fans, it is very likely that Watson will be the team’s starting quarterback this season. This thought sends a shiver down the spine of Cleveland supporters as the three-time Pro Bowl has been a complete disaster for the franchise.

After arriving in 2022 with a fully guaranteed contract worth $230 million, Watson has played only 19 games and missed all of the 2025 season recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon a year ago. Still, when he played, he looked like a shell of the player fans had seen with the Houston Texans. Posting a 9-10 record as a starter and 19 touchdowns to 12 interceptions.

Despite a horrific sexual assault scandal, the Browns took a huge risk by trading for Watson. The risk didn’t pay off and actually backfired on him because his contract was a prop on his payroll and not tradable.

Browns unlikely to re-sign Deshaun Watson after bounce back season

Still, due to Cleveland’s weak QB room, Watson has a strong chance to be new head coach Todd Monken’s choice to be his Week 1 starter. While it’s not expected, it’s not impossible that Watson will have a great season in 2026. He is still only 30 years old, and the team’s new system could help him recapture his Pro Bowl form.

So, does this mean the Browns could re-sign Deshaun Watson if he performs well next season? Not a chance, claims ESPN’s Dan Graziano.

Rest easy, Browns fans. 2026 may be a big year for Deshaun Watson, but it will be his last year in Cleveland.

克利夫蘭布朗隊將在 2026-27 NFL 賽季中展開一場四分衛大戰。截至目前，克利夫蘭與謝德爾·桑德斯、德肖恩·沃森和狄龍·加布里埃爾簽訂了合約。然而，誰有資格為布朗隊首發呢？一位 NFL 內部人士放棄了對 2026 年布朗隊首發球員的預測。

「如果我必須猜測，這些都是猜測，而不是報告，」伊恩·拉波波特在里奇·艾森秀上說道。 “我猜是德肖恩·沃森。”

自從 2024 年 10 月 20 日對陣辛辛那提猛虎隊的比賽中跟腱撕裂後，沃森就再也沒有參加過 NFL 比賽。這位30歲的四分衛在康復過程中遭遇挫折後，再次撕裂了跟腱，並於2025年1月9日接受了第二次手術。這讓他無法參加 2025-26 NFL 賽季。

現在，沃森有機會回到克利夫蘭重新開始他的工作。 2022年3月，布朗隊以三個首輪選秀權、一個第三輪選秀權和兩個第四輪選秀權從休士頓德州人隊收購了沃森，並附上一份價值2.3億美元的全額保障合約。克利夫蘭做出了一個令人震驚的決定。

2022 年 8 月，沃森被指控在按摩期間有不當性行為，被停薪 11 場比賽，並被罰款 500 萬美元。到目前為止，沃森自2022年被交易到布朗隊以來只首發了19場比賽。

雖然加布里埃爾上賽季首發出場，但這場戰鬥很可能會落在沃森和桑德斯身上。拉波波特相信沃森的天賦將會佔上風，為布朗隊提供贏得足球比賽的最佳機會。如果克利夫蘭選擇桑德斯，這可能表明人們對他的長期潛力充滿信心。

目前，至少有一位 NFL 內部人士認為沃森將是最佳人選。

Four years ago, the Cleveland Browns “won” the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes by agreeing to a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract with the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback. But before they could get him to sign on the dotted line, the Browns had to send three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks.

Those draft picks join DT Jordan Davis, RB Jahmir Gibbs, WR Brian Thomas, WR Jalin Hyatt, RB Damien Pierce and TE Cade Stover. It has been considered the worst trade in NFL history, which is tragic for the Browns franchise, who were already quite desperate to make such a bold move for someone they thought would be their franchise quarterback for years to come.

Still, Watson has been nothing. He has yet to start more than seven games in a season with the Browns, and has started only 19 games in three seasons in Cleveland. He has completed only 61.2% of his passes for 3,365 passing yards, 19 TDs, 12 interceptions, while leading the Browns to a 9-10 record in the process.

Now 30, Watson is in the final year of his contract, but has a cap hit of $80.7 million. Given how poorly he has played as a member of the Browns, while also considering his tremendous cap hit, some have wondered if the new coaching staff would have no interest in keeping Watson as part of the new-look QB room.

Still, according to first-year head coach Todd Monken, it couldn’t be further from the case. Rather, he seems excited for the opportunity to work with Watson, and possibly even help the QB regain his signature look from his days in a Texans uniform.

If there’s any glimmer of hope that the Browns can still get some positive production from Watson, it’s up to Monken to figure it out. If not, Watson will be a free agent at the end of the 2026 season, and then the Browns can finally move on from their biggest mistake ever. Or, maybe Watson proves everyone wrong and returns to Houston as an MVP candidate.

克利夫蘭布朗隊度過了一個忙碌的休賽期，在與凱文·斯特凡斯基分道揚鑣後，最近聘請託德·蒙肯擔任他們的下一任主教練。明年最大的問題之一圍繞著四分衛的情況，謝德爾·桑德斯在上賽季末接管了首發位置，但德肖恩·沃森仍然與球隊簽訂了一份巨額合同。

最近，上賽季創下 NFL 擒殺紀錄的布朗隊巨星邁爾斯·加勒特 (Myles Garrett) 介入了這場爭議。

“我們會給他一個機會來證明他是那個人。我們不會給任何人冠軍，除非他們走出去並贏得它，”桑德斯的加勒特在接受米卡·帕森斯的《The Edge》採訪時說道。 “他是最後一個上場的人，他表現出了一些閃光。所以我們會給他一個機會來展示他的能力。”

然而，加勒特也承認，布朗隊至少必須給予沃森一些考慮。

“我覺得名單上的每個人都會有機會。他是場上最後一個人，所以顯然他會得到第一個服務。你知道，德肖恩，以及名單上的其他人，他們都會得到真正的機會，”他說。

上賽季末，桑德斯在布朗隊的首發生涯中起起伏伏，接替了新秀狄龍·加布里埃爾。他沒有出色的進攻線或接球核心，這當然於事無補，如果蒙肯確實成為 2026 年的首發球員，布朗隊希望蒙肯和他的進攻頭腦能夠幫助桑德斯在本賽季的比賽中提升新的水平。

無論如何，現在布朗隊將注意力轉向即將到來的 NFL 選秀，該選秀定於四月舉行。
